Rick Henley, Head of Acquisitions at RIAC, loves his shotguns and hunting rifles. His Top 10 of the auction includes not only beautiful sporting arms, but also the abnormally large, the historic, the rare, and even the comical.
Which do YOU think is the most impressive? The big bore dangerous game rifles, the bespoke shotguns, the high art pieces, the Holland & Hollands, the Purdeys, the Winchesters, or some of Hank Williams Jr.’s stunning Smith & Wessons?
